… for my audience of millions: I’ve spent the last 30 minutes trying to add references to my bibliography. They show up, but then keep disappearing, so I’m still unable to complete this biosketch, which I’ve been working on (on on-and-off) for the last 5 hours.

"Filipino role models in psychology were essentially nonexistent for me. On top of that, the articles assigned in my seminars never included Filipino participants. ”

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that β€œwe need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

The court’s three liberal justices – Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson – dissented from the decision and apparently are the only ones upholding the Constitution and protecting the power of Congress.

Congress would do well to recognize this.
